Shows how much I don't know about Tricky - wasn't expecting the Pumpkins sample in there.

I listened to this song again recently and I can't believe I had forgotten Alison did the vocals! I guess I had it in my head that all the female vocals were by MTB so this was a lovely surprise. Such a great album.

Seriously though, is Ms Goldfrapp actually singing in English on this track? Or in any language, for that matter? Coz I honestly can't conclusively distinguish a single word on the whole song, and the lyric transcriptions I've seen online seem suspiciously like someone's guesswork. I kind of hope it is Sigur Ros style improvisational gibberish rather turn just spectacularly poor enunciation.

Not sure, but she's always been an odd enunciator, at times at least. Never quite like this as far as I know, but there are moments elsewhere. Best guess, there were lyrics, and she's just following them very loosely. There are clearly some repeated words/sounds in there, which indicates that it wasn't just made up on the spot.

My translation of Alison's lyrics are that they could be: Pumpkin/You're hollow within/More how I'm to slowly/Let their harm/Give us some/Sad until/Like flowers untamed/Shine out ends/I find what'll make him/Love me/Life is our find/Hollow he

does anybody else feel like Fiona Apple may have been inspired by this track? the soft drum beat and horns in the background sound like something that would be on her first two albums

yes, "suffer" sample is quite brilliant! haunting, despairing & sexy all at the same time.

I always thought the vocals were by that bird from the Cocteau Twins, Liz Fraser. Nice Smashing Pumpkins "Suffer" sample.
